The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with
a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough
space around drill press to allow for operations and
any adjustments or servicing.
6.4 Assembly
NOTE: Use an assistant to help assemble the drill
press.
1. Place base upon a level floor. It may be
secured to floor with lag screws (not provided)
through four holes in the base. Refer to Figure
1 for hole spacing.
2. If you do not wish permanent attachment to
the floor, the drill press can be bolted to a
plywood panel which will serve as an
expanded base and further stabilize the
machine. Use a high grade of plywood at least
3/4" thick. It should be large enough to prevent
vibration, sliding or moving of drill press during
operation. Do not use a mobile base with this
machine.
3. Attach column assembly to base with four
M10x40 socket head cap screws (A, Figure 3).
Tighten firmly.

7. The lower end of the rack should rest in the lip
of the holder, as shown in Figure 3.
8. Slide table elevating handle (D, Figure 5) onto
protruding shaft of worm, and tighten set screw
in handle with a 3mm hex wrench. Crank the
handle counterclockwise to lower table bracket
down the column.
9. Place ring (E, Figure 5) onto column and slide
it down over top edge of rack. Tighten set
screw on ring.
10. Screw locking handle (F, Figure 5) into table
bracket. Tighten locking handle to secure table
bracket’s position on column.

6. Hold the rack in the slot, while setting the table
bracket over the column. Then slide table
bracket and rack together down the column.

13. Install three downfeed handles into hub by
screwing them in completely, and tightening
each nut against hub (Figure 8). A flat is
provided on each handle for a wrench to help
tighten if needed.
NOTE: The downfeed handles can be installed
on either side of head.

18. Slide arbor up into spindle.
19. Firmly push chuck by hand onto taper of arbor.
20. Rotate chuck until the jaws are completely
retracted into the chuck (to prevent damage to
jaws). Use two or three sharp taps from a
rubber mallet, or a hammer and a block of
wood, against bottom of chuck to seat chuck
securely onto arbor.
Do not use a steel hammer

directly against chuck, as this may damage

Check with a qualified

electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.

before attempting to drill.
If 230V operation is desired, the following
instructions must be performed:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. The drill press motor has four leads that are
factory connected for 115V operation. For
230V operation, reconnect the leads as shown
in diagram inside motor junction box cover.
Diagrams are also shown in section 14.0 of
this manual. (In case of discrepancy, diagram

hole in workpiece.
2. Position top nut (F1) so that its bottom edge
aligns with this measurement on the scale.
Note: For quick positioning, press button on
nut and slide into position; for fine adjustment
rotate nut along scale.
3. For less precise drilling, simply lower bit to
desired depth, as shown in Figure 19, and
slide top nut down to contact collar.
4. The lower nut (F2) can be used to hold the
Figure 17 spindle at a certain depth. Position the lower
nut up against the collar. The spindle will stop

2. Lower quill assembly with the downfeed
handles to expose slot. Rotate chuck to align
slots.
3. Insert drift key into slot.
4. Tap drift key into slot until chuck and arbor fall
out. NOTE: Hold on to chuck to prevent it
being damaged as it falls.

until laser line (M) crosses perforation (L).
8. Adjust the other laser assembly in the same
manner until the laser lines form cross

shown in Figure 24.
9. Re-check vertical alignment to ensure that the
laser lines did not shift during the procedure.
The laser is now calibrated properly and the
location of your holes can be centered at the cross
hairs for accurate drilling.

10.0 Operation
10.1 Installing bits
Insert bit (not provided) into chuck jaws with about
1” insertion. When using a small bit, do not insert it
so far that the jaws touch the flutes of the bit. Make
sure bit is centered in chuck before tightening
chuck. The chuck is a keyless model; simply rotate
it by hand to tighten the bit.
